Being a huge fan of Kanye, Chance the Rapper got to meet Kanye for the first time over the past weekend at Jay Z’s Made in America festival. Chance claims to be Kanyes biggest fan and expressed his excitement on instagram saying “Anyone who knows me knows how big of a moment this was for me. I’ve been his biggest fan since 04 and I’m pretty sure I’m still his #1 fan. Thanks to J for hookin it up. Thanks to Gizmo for all the good luck yesterday. #IMetKanye.” Chance also went on to twitter saying “We talked about Chicago and what we could do for it.” Both theses creative geniuses together can only be a good thing for hip hop.
